Derwent Unit

The Derwent Unit is a 54-bedroom mental health adult acute unit for adults of working age. The unit has three wards called Oak Ward, Sycamore Ward and Willow Ward. Each ward has 18 single bedrooms.

The Derwent Unit, which provides services previously available at the Hartington Unit,  is located on the Chesterfield Royal Hospital site, meaning there is little change in travel for service users and carers. 

The Derwent Unit was purpose built and equipped with modern facilities and additional resources (such as a shared therapy suite incorporating ADL kitchen, indoor fitness room, online library resource room, arts room and access to a secured roof terrace/garden for wards on the first floor). 

All rooms are single and en suite, improving privacy and dignity and bringing our inpatient provision in line with national requirements.
